Fiber artist Sheila Hicks wants the Dallas Museum of Art to have another one of her tapestrylike artworks, this one a series of interlacing blue and gold bands she calls Chaine et trame interchangeable (translation: Interchangeable warp and weft).

It's a homecoming of sorts for the early '80s piece, which, although fashioned in France, originally hung in the elevator lobby of One Main Place in a smaller form. After new ownership decided to redecorate the building, Hicks sent the work on a nine-country museum tour.

At the DMA, Chaine et trame interchangeable would join another Hicks piece the museum recently agreed to accept as part of its collection: Zihzabal, a brightly woven composite of synthetic fibers, cotton and linen.
